. -- whether romney or obama is a more effective leader. i teach a course in southern california in leadership. one of the things we try to get across to our students is we tell them leadership is a team sport. the chief executives of both parties in the white house and statehouses around the country face is when they do try to lead, they are dealing with a political system that is so polarized. is impossible to get anything done. i'm not defending president obama but he faced the challenges of this ongoing knee- jerk hyper-partisanship. we cannot invent leaders. we cannot pass a bill and introduce a bill that will create an effective leader. we can create an environment where men and women who truly want to lead and bring their strong principals to washington and want to work with together with other people, we want to make it easier rather than harder for them to do it and create the kind of leaders that we're talking about in both parties. host: why haven't you mentioned other parties like the green party? >> the writer is exactly right
